Looks like I am well recovered from last week's episode, got back from Dr Shah's office a bit ago and then brought Teia to the vet.

All my blood counts are normal, including the platelets (which has been a long time coming). They were 201,000, low end is 150,000...they were 99,000 a month ago when I last had a blood draw for Dr Shah.
Will get the full blood chemistry report in a day or so.

Teia has 1 liver and 2 kidney numbers that are a little elevated, but Dr Bennett said kitties withstand that better than dogs or people, their desert cat origins. All other numbers were good. Return visit in 3 months.

And now, Miss Teia is 19...she's skinny, but eats well, seems to be over the health problem she was having early last month.
Did fine under our neighbor's care while we were gone back to Massachusetts for 5 days; family reunion and my mom's 80th birthday.

Not too bad, gets around just fine, jumps up on the couch or chairs okay, getting a little finicky about food, but I add a little Beechnut chicken or turkey baby food and that seems to gain her interest.

Here is Miss Teia and her courtiers. Cooper is the dark grey boy. Buff is the ginger boy. They are 3, adopted in October 2014 from a rescue that is trying to take care of an ongoing hoarding situation.

(and yes, that's a bunch of pee pads in the corner atop heavy vinyl sheeting. Old gal has not used the litter box in a few years, but uses the puppy pads.)

For the first time in about a year, Miss Teia made the journey to the second floor to visit the wet shower and have a drink.
We're hoping this means she is feeling a little less her age. She's also had a recent patrol of her garage and a little outside time.
Has been moving around the first floor a bit more, too.
